Why is there a missile warning in Hawaii

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect to make a big oolong. I just don't want to be too arrogant. I was so scared that Bian Xiao hugged his chubby self tightly. However, it was an own goal. Otherwise, I always feel that war has broken out. As for this oolong incident, it was caused by the misoperation of the staff. I may have to bid farewell to this post.

If one weekend morning, you are sleeping late in a warm bed, and suddenly you receive an urgent push on your mobile phone: "The missile is coming, please find shelter urgently!" "Do you think it's a little scary and untrue? On Saturday, the Hawaiian people experienced exactly the same situation and were collectively scared! " Missile attack "caused panic in the United States!

It happened at around 8: 08 am local time on Saturday, and all Hawaiian citizens received a "missile attack" alarm on their mobile phones: "Hawaii is threatened by ballistic missiles." . Seek asylum immediately. This is not a drill' ("Ballistic missile threatens to invade Hawaii"). Looking for direct shelter. This is not a drill. )

At the same time, local radio and TV stations also forwarded the alarm for the first time. The TV station broadcast similar news, which caused the live broadcast of the game to be interrupted urgently. Jim Carrey, an actor living in Hawaii, said on Twitter that he had just woken up and the first thought in his mind was: I only have 10 minutes to run for my life! !

It was not until Hawaiian residents experienced an island-wide panic for about six minutes that the incident was clarified: it turned out that an employee of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA) made a serious mistake this Saturday. He accidentally pressed the wrong button during an internal exercise, causing the Hawaiian people to receive a missile invasion warning by mistake at 8: 07 am on Saturday.

Incredibly, the staff who made this mistake didn't realize it before the mobile phone in the command center began to display the alarm. It was not until his mobile phone received his own push that he realized the disaster he had caused. On Saturday afternoon, the Governor of Hawaii, the Director of the Emergency Management Bureau of Hawaii and some military personnel held an emergency press conference. At the press conference, the Governor of Hawaii, David Iger, also apologized: "I am sorry for the pain and confusion caused by this mistake.

I am also depressed. I am doing my best to improve our emergency management system, application and staffing immediately. Vern Miyagi, the administrator of EMA, said that employees who made mistakes felt bad. He didn't mean it. This is a serious mistake in his work, and he is very sorry for it. Miyagi, a retired army soldier, said that the employee had been working in the agency for some time, and the agency would retrain the employee to avoid similar incidents in the future.

However, at present, the relevant departments have not disclosed whether there will be further punishment for the employee. After the Oolong incident, Hawaiian officials sorted out the general timeline of the incident: at 8: 05 am, the Hawaii Emergency Management Bureau (HI-EMA) conducted a routine internal test during the shift change. This is a system involving emergency alarm and wireless emergency alarm, but it does not involve alarm testing.

8: 07 a.m.: A bureau employee mistakenly triggered a statewide warning. 8: 00 a.m. 10: Lieutenant General Joe Logan of Hawaii and US Pacific Command confirm that no missiles have been fired. Honolulu Police Department informed HI-EMA that the information was a false alarm. 8: 00 a.m.13: The warning point in Hawaii issues a message to lift the civil danger alert. 8: 20 am: Hi-EMA announced the cancellation of the alarm clock through its Facebook and Twitter accounts.

8: 24 am: Hawaii Governor David Ige forwards the cancellation notice of HI-EMA. 8:30 am: The governor posted a cancellation notice on his Facebook page. 8: 45 am: After being authorized by the overall announcement and alarm system of FEMA, HI-EMA sends out "civil emergency information" remotely to cancel the false alarm. After the alarm was issued, all Hawaiian residents were frightened.

On the main highway H-3 in the north of Honu Lu Lu badminton, when the alarm was displayed, the drivers stopped all the cars on the highway in an emergency, and everyone abandoned their cars and fled, hiding in a nearby tunnel. Worried about the attack of nuclear weapons, local residents and tourists have flocked to underground garages and nearby shelters, including legendary basketball magician Johnson who is on vacation in Hawaii ... The Sony Open on the PGA Tour of the United States is also being held in Honolulu, and golfers are also panicked by a false alarm.

American golfer John Peterson said on Twitter at that time: May my wife and children be safe, and please God bless that this bomb threat is not true! There are still many people who send text messages to inform their loved ones as soon as they know the alarm: some people are driving to the beach and immediately turn around and take their wives and children home after receiving the alarm; Many people were scared to cry on the spot; Students from the University of Hawaii said afterwards that about 200 people rushed into the teaching building, and the scene was very chaotic. 9 1 1 The phone keeps ringing and I can't get in at all. ...

When the mistake was finally clarified, the public panic turned into anger. A resident said, think about it, we experienced such a thrilling moment in 38 minutes, and finally you told me it was an own goal. Many officials also said that this mistake was "unforgivable" and that "the whole country was frightened!" Another thing that makes people very dissatisfied is that after discovering the error 12 minutes, the government agency corrected the error on Twitter, but it took another 38 minutes to call the police.

Prove to the residents that this is a false alarm. Others said that they never received a second call to the police. This kind of delayed telephone alarm also means that not everyone knows that the alarm has been lifted at the first time, unless they check it on social media. This is a little too long for Hawaiian. At present, the incident has been handled by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the FCC said that it has launched a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
